This role will require a 75% Field to 25% Office blend, The Technical Product Lead serves as the primary product and domain interface between Software Development and the Product Service Lines (PSLs). The role is responsible for converting operational needs into clear, validated, and prioritized software requirements and maintaining product continuity through development, testing, field validation, implementation, and performance measurement. The position is not primarily a programming role. Its value comes from combining operational understanding, structured analysis, product ownership, and software translation. Core Responsibilities Operational Need & SME Engagement * Clarify the operational problem and desired business outcome. * Identify and coordinate the appropriate operations, maintenance, engineering, and field SMEs. * Document current and future workflows, constraints, dependencies, and edge cases. * Distinguish scalable product requirements from individual or localized preferences. * Reconcile conflicting stakeholder input and maintain clear decision ownership. Product & Software Translation * Translate operational workflows into functional requirements, user stories, business rules, process diagrams, algorithm requirements, and acceptance criteria. * Provide clear functional direction to software and controls teams. * Maintain traceability between the original business problem and developed functionality. * Support backlog refinement, scope clarification, prioritization, and release planning. * Ensure requirements are operationally valid, technically understandable, and testable. Development Interface * Serve as the primary source of product clarification for assigned software-development work. * Participate in planning, design reviews, demonstrations, testing, and release-readiness activities. * Coordinate access to SMEs when additional technical or operational input is required. * Reduce the need for software engineers to independently interpret operational requirements or resolve conflicting stakeholder direction. Validation & Implementation * Define operational and functional acceptance criteria. * Coordinate bench, integration, field, and user-acceptance testing. * Ensure testing reflects representative operating conditions and edge cases. * Support field implementation, training, readiness, and adoption. * Maintain continuity from development through operational use. Product Performance * Define and track product-level KPIs. * Monitor utilization, reliability, operational performance, and adoption. * Collect field feedback and translate it into future product priorities. * Support documentation of operational and financial value. Role Boundaries The Technical Product Lead does not replace Software Engineering, Controls Engineering, PSL leadership, or specialized SMEs. PSLs provide operational priorities, domain expertise, field workflows, and business outcomes. The Technical Product Lead converts that input into structured product direction and manages it through the software-development process., The Technical Product Lead provides the structured bridge between operational need and software execution. ## Related Videos - [ShapeShift: Reinventing Agile for a B2B SaaS Scale-Up](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1655-shapeshift-reinventing-agile-for-a-b2b-saas-scale-up) - [Data Science, ML & AI in the Oil and Gas Industry at NDT Global - Dr. Katja Träumner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1308-data-science-ml-ai-in-the-oil-and-gas-industry-at-ndt-global-dr-katja-traumner) - [How to govern Vibe Coding for the Enterprise](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100290-how-to-govern-vibe-coding-for-the-enterprise) - [The Avengers Initiative (Practical Ethics for Software Engineers)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2070-the-avengers-initiative-practical-ethics-for-software-engineers) - [The user in the eye of the Cargo1492 storm](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/96-the-user-in-the-eye-of-the-cargo1492-storm) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) ## Related Articles - [Why developer experience matters](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/514-why-developer-experience-matters) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
